I have type 1 DM for about 10 years and I cycle a fair bit. I manage things fairly ok but obviously have a lot of variances with my dosing depending on exercise amounts. I manage with a multidose novarapid dosing with Levemir as my long acting insulin. I dont often get hypo when exercising but I guess I let it drift up a bit, and take tiny amounts of insulin in breaks. I recently did a long trip in the Alps with 100miles a day and 2-3000m of climbing per day.
A few of my colleagues who exercise have recently switched to CGM. Im fairly ok controlled. I run it tight usually and get a few hypos (maybe 1-2 per month where Im properly low). I have full insight when going low. My HbA1c is ok but not perfect. CGM looks really exciting.
I have looked at some of the info on devices but would appreciate people's thoughts on what works best. I would pay for it myself if I had to.
I cant see me swapping to a pump as I dont like the idea of having it strapped to me but would be ok with a CGM implant on arm etc...
This is my first post and I am grateful to anyone for their advice.
